Description
Miniature jug in common glazed ceramic, found at the bottom of the well in the Patio de la Pia Almoina along with other vessels used by pull up water. Its shape is identical to that of standard jug, that is, with an ovoid body, mouth preceded by a short neck, vertical upper handle called a bridge or basket and side spout. The small size of the jug and its small capacity suggest that this is a toy, probably used by children to entertain themselves while the adults drew water from the well.
